- a truck driver who was involved in three traffic accidents within six-month period did not commit willful misconduct as his unintentional conduct merely demonstrated that he was not a good truck driver
- three accidents with employer's truckon May 1 and September 4 and 5, 1989did not constitute misconduct where evidence failed to show any intentional and deliberate conduct on employee's part
Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
NIX, Chief Justice,
concurring.
I join Mr. Justice Larsen’s Opinion of the Court. I write separately to note that there is no issue here of whether this appellant was properly terminated from his position with Yourga Trucking, Inc. If that were at issue, I would not hesitate to uphold the trucking company’s termination. The *382 issue here is whether the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review properly denied his application for unemployment benefits. I agree with Mr. Justice Larsen that the Board improperly denied the grant of benefits to Appellant.
